   "Oh, sweetheart is it, now? Are yeh' callin' me a woman, mate? Cuz' yeh' look right womanly what wiv' yer' long hair and beads! Harhar!" shot back the skinny pirate, pulling out a musket and letting a shot fly right past Jack's head, nearly hitting Jenna, too. "Yeh' yellow-bellied, squid-suckin', girly, rose-arsed, mother's boy, fetcher!"

   "YARRHHH ill teach yah you screvy dog yah some manors sweaty!" said jack fireing his pistol round and then charging at the skinny pirate.

   "AAAR! COME GET ME, ROT-NOSED TOSSER!" screamed the pirate, running and loading powder and shot into his musket. Some crewmen of the scrawny one suddenly came to attention, looking up at the two charging pirates, and leapt from their seats, roaring challenges. Penguin's men did the same, and soon, the whole brawl was up in arms, except, strangely, for a small zone around Jenna.

   Jack readyed one of his other pistols and fired a shot taking down one of the scrawny mans men and got ready to swing his sword down onto the scrawny mans head. "YAHHHH CHARGE ME' HARTYS' GIVE IT TO EM!!!"

   Jenna was quickly becoming annoyed. Her head hurt, she was tired, and the grog was making her dizzy. Finally, she snatched a musket from a passing pirate and fired it. "Will you all..." The shot shattered somebody's mug of grog. "Kindly shut UP!" she screamed.

   At the sound of shattering mugs, all chaos ceased. "Aye, lass?" said a burly half-orc with a several shards of broken glass in his eye timidly.

   Jack fermly had the scrawny fellow by the neck and was about to scewer him but stoped at the shatering musket round. "eyh wats up jenna were just killing each other BUAHAHAHAA."

    "Thank you very much," Jenna said irritably. "I have had a lousy couple of days, and I am not much in the mood for this drunken insanity." She held up the musket, along with a bag of powder and bullets she'd also snagged. "And I'm a lot better shot than I look like I should be," she added menacingly.

    At that moment, Captain Penguin burst in. "Mates, we're shovin' off! The King's business can't be delayed, an' I hear tell tha' there may be treasure involved!" he shouted, motioning to his crewmates.

    Jack smiled looked like he had seen right she was the making of a great pirate. "ok jenna...will stop right lads?" said jack motioning to take the brawl outside.

13. Nautical Business

    #53

    "That's right, lads, take the party outside! Mates! All ye who hold dear th' flag 'o' Captain Penguin, off teh' th' boat, the whole wormy lot 'o' yeh', an' the lass, too! An' Brassbuckles, before yeh' say what you always say: Yes. I know that it be bad luck to take a woman on a ship! So get out!"

14. Nautical Business

    #54

    Jenna just glared at the others, then went outside. "So. Just what are you doing for the king, and why does it involve treasure?" she asked the captain. Privately, she had a feeling the treasure only existed in someone's immagination, for she could think of no better way to convince a load of pirates to cooperate.

15. Nautical Business

    #55

    Jack walked out side reloading his guns and then walked down to the ship joking and laughing with some of his fellow crew mates. "so then i tells him that thats my dog BAHAHAH" "heh good one three toes" "yah that was good" replied his fellow mates as the walked down the dock.

    "Well, well! 'Ere-'ere, mates, looks like we got a tart what got 'erself drinked up!" Penguin said looking Jenna up and down and then seeing the look on her face. "No? Well, then, mates. Nevermind. His Lordship, the good Knight Tharus has told me tha' we'll be on assignment teh' the Bonesplitter Isles to find one Captain Greenbones an' his crew. Seems like they've come to possess somethin' 'o' His Majesty's that His Majesty would like back! An' thar' be a full cut 'o' any treasure in it fer' us, mates! We're castin' off in four hours, so get yerselves good an' drunk while yeh' can!"

    (OOC: This be my last post of the night. I must sleep, cos I gots work tomorrow.)
    
    "Bonesplitter Isles?" Suddenly Jenna was alert. She pulled a worn book out of her pack and leafed through it. She found what she was looking for and held it out to the captain. "Is this where we're going?" she asked. The page she had turned to was a map labeled "Isla Australis Maximus." Below that, in a different hand was written, "aka The Bonesplitter Isles".

    The captain scratched his fuzzy-feathered brow.
    "Aye, lass. That'd be the spot." he said, jabbing the map with his gloved flipper, which, strangely, had fingers. "Right there."
    A pirate stepped forward out of the crew. "The, the B-B -Bonesplitter Isles, Cap'n? But they say them isles be cursed!"
    "Well, I don't care what they say, that be were we're goin' an' that be final!" replied the Captain.

    "Yah yeh little ninny help me with this rope or ill bash yer' skull" said jack to a shorter but much wider and stonger pirate then jack who emediatly helped him wrestle the rope around a cog to stop it from loosening. "thanks muttin chops" "Eyh anytime mate."said Muttin Chops. "All you ninnys siten around you gets tah work savvy? or ill be telling the capin you like tah wear dresses!" "ah we better geta work sah." "yah to work." and other varius answers as the crew buslted to work geting the ship ready.

    If anyone were to look at Siren, they would note she was very beautiful. And indeed, Siren was the sort of girl that stole men's heart. She had curly, auburn colored hair that stopped just at her shoulders and almond -shaped dark green eyes. Her skin was fair and clear, a task which seemed fairly difficult considering the time she spent out in the sun. Siren was short, standing no more than 5'2.
    
    Yes, she was just the typical beautiful thief. On this particular day, she was growing bored with just pickpocketing and wanted something that make her rich enough to just settle down and raise a family. She just so happened to wander near the harbor. And as Siren had pretty good hearing, she heard the words "treasure," "ship," and "King." Immediately, her curiousity got the better of her.
    
    She watched what appeared to be a... penguin!? and a young lady walk towards a ship, chatting about their destination. After they boarded the ship, Siren came up with a plan. It wasn't a great plan, but the worst they could do was kill her.
    
    Siren walked onto the ship, smiling sweetly as some of the crew stopped to stare at her. "Hello! I overheard you lot speaking of sailing off to find some treasure. Who might the Captain of this here ship be? My magic can detect treasure anywhere!" She noticed some of the skeptical looks and quickly added, "And I'm a great cook!"

    Jacks jaw dropped at the sight of the pritty girl. Jack walked tword her puting on his best smile and puffed out his chest. "Well lass we can't just be a takin' anyone who comes aboard the ship asking for a ride savvy?" "captain whatay make o this? should we through her in the brigg for a while just for fun or get out tah sea and make her walk dah plank?!"

22. Nautical Business

    Jenna looked at the newcomer. Something didn't add up. Normal women did not just walk up to a ship full of strange men and ask to come along for the ride. Jenna herself was there because it was the lesser of two evils: either hang out with the pirates or get her neck stretched for an unknown crime. Without really knowing why, she tucked the book back into her satchel. The map wasn't the only thing in there, and some of the other things were not to become public knowledge.

    "Oh, aye! I see 'ow it is! Yeh' can't have yer' way with 'er, so you wanna' put 'er overboard, is 'at how it is, Jack? Hah!" said Captain Penguin, and turned to Siren. "I be the Cap'n around here, lass. I'd let yeh' come wiv' us, but 'tis bad luck to bring a woman aboard a ship, yeh' savvy?" he said, ingnoring the fact that they already had Jenna aboard.

    Jack shrugged and went back to work it was the captians choise anyways. "so capin lets stop dilling around and shove of eyh?!" said jack winking at the captain.

    "Wait a minute!" Siren called out, placing her hands on hips. "You already have a woman onboard!"
    
    To prove her point, she pointed at the lady who stood watching her. "I can't believe it! Bad luck? Hah! Ever heard of Captain Greenbones? I used to be a part of the crew. My dear mother didn't approve, but even still, I sailed with him."
    
    Siren sighed wistfully. "The ocean is a mighty force to be reckon with. One minute calm and loving, the next... she's angry and vengeful, especially when attempting to learn her secrets." Siren laughed, a delightful sound, "I was his cook, you know. But then, old Greenbones and me, got into an arguement. I left and he disappeared! My poor Captain... he was a good man. Like a father to me!"
    
    "Please, just let me sail once more. I miss the ocean." Siren stared at the other lady and frowned. "And if she's going, so am I!"

    Jack smiled another pushy pirate he already delt with one today. "Bah why you asking me im just Jack Three toes im no captain...if you think your be up to it talk to dah' capin savvy?!" said jack and returned to work he was a little upset with himself falling for a pirate girl.

    "So, yeh' were cook fer' the famous Cap'n Greenbones, eh?" said Captain Penguin, hopping akwardly and grabbing onto a swinging rigging, which he rode to the dock, next to Siren. "Right yeh' are, lass, we do 'ave a woman aboard. But havin' yeh' too would be...Uh...Erm..." The penguin furrowed his brow and counted fingers for a minute or so. "...Uh...Three times the bad luck! Yarr!"

28. Nautical Business

    #68

    "Captain, wasn't the fellow you're supposed to be finding named Greenbones?" Jenna asked quietly. "Might prove useful. Might prove a problem, too. But she doesn't strike me as the sort of person who will take no for an answer."

29. Nautical Business

    #69

    "Good thinkin', lass! Allright, yeh' can come wiv' us...Uh..Erm....What'd you say yer' name was?" said Captain Penguin, leading Siren up the gangplank onto his ship. "This be my bonny ship. 'Er name be th' Sea-Phoenix."

    "yah and she be to erhem....pritty to killhar her....so what we do?!" said jack lifting a crate and placing it in the storage in the ship.

31. Nautical Business

    #71

    OOC: Umbra, what the hell did that mean? We're taking Siren with us because she knows something about Greenbones.

32. Nautical Business

    (OOC: sorry don't be mean about it crap)

33. Nautical Business

    OOC: Wasn't being mean. I just like to say "hell".

34. Nautical Business

    #74

    OOC: Anywayyyyy
    
    Jack yawned. "im goin down to the beds I be tired unless captain has some of his famouse grog for the crew and I then im sure we'ed all be up and a dancen eyh my hartys?!" Numerus answers sounded off from the crew but mostly all of them where "eyh." "so captain whatya say?" said jack with a wink and a smile showing his teeth.

35. Nautical Business

    Siren smiled delightfully. "My name's Siren! Siren Silva." She looked around the ship. It wasn't too shabby. "Thanks for letting me come. I promise you won't regret it!"
    
    She turned to Jack and winked, and then turned back to the Captain, rocking back and forth on heels. "So, you're looking for my Captain. He was headed to Bonesplitter Isles..." Siren trailed off and her face turned white. "Oh."
    
    She smiled, turning to the lady. "I'm sure we'll be great friends. I bet this is going to be a great adventure."
    
    "I'll be wanting some grog," Siren said, more to herself than anyone else. "But in the meantime, I'm going to look over the supplies and make a menu. If it's okay with the Captain."
    
    Siren looked at the Captain and gave him the sweetest smile she could muster up. She looked as innocent as a newborn baby.

    Jack smiled as he was winked at and turned and tryed to go back to work but was far to distracted by the siren girl. "yowh she be pritty." said a fellow crew mate. "eyh that be true but she probably duna like us pirates to much...probably likes them pritty soldier boys bah." said jack and tied down a loose rop and then started to climb to the crows nest.

37. The next morning...

    #77

    Captain Penguin stepped from his cabin, shouting "D'arr!" Most of the sleeping crew shot up straight awake from thier bunks, pulling on raggy jackets and muddy boots and going to their duties. The ship's usual cook, a massively fat cat-man named Hachio, stayed sleeping. There wasn't enough room for both him and Siren in the kitchen.

38. Nautical Business

    #78

    Jack rubbed sleep from his eyes and sat up in the crows nest. "Darh when be breakfast im starved and some lad be geting me ale savy!!" shouted jack the night haden't been to cold but a little rough he pulled out his knife and began to whittle a skull from a small block of wood how else was he to pass the time?

39. Nautical Business

    Siren stretched and stepped inside the little room that passed as the kitchen. And well... her mouth dropped opened. It was absolutely filthy inside the kitchen. She stepped forward towards the sink and stepped on something that made the most disgusting crunch sound she'd ever heard.
    
    She took a deep breath and moved forward, refusing to look down. "Perhaps, I'll clean first," she said to herself. She briefly wondered where the regular cook was, as she pulled a bucket and mop from a tiny little closet. Siren coughed as breathed in the dust. "I thought someone said the cook's name was Hachio, or something. Goodness, maybe I'll just keep this kitchen clean."

    Jenna had gotten up early, like she usually did, and enjoyed fifteen minutes of quiet before the captain woke. She had planned to spend a while comparing her maps with the captain's, but as she passed the galley, she noticed Siren. The girl seemed to be fighting a losing battle with the filth. Jenna took pity on her and went to help. Her father had been an abominable housekeeper, so she knew how to handle it.
